How does motion detection work on a dash cam?

These are heat sensors that detect motion by monitoring heat within the detection area. Since people are hotter than the surrounding areas, as a person enters the detection area, the heat measurements change. The motion sensors register this change as movement and send out an alert.

What is motion camera?

Motion has simple webcam server built in which allows for streaming the images from the camera (s). The streams are generated in "multipart jpeg" format (mjpeg) which most browsers can display. If the browser does not directly open the stream, it may be possible to manually create a simple HTML page that references the stream. Some regular stream players such as mplayer, ffplay and avplay may open the streams as well by specifying the network stream as http://localhost:mystreamportnumber/ While normally the stream players will open after a bit, it may be useful to also provide the format such as ffplay -f mjpeg http://localhost:mystreamportnumber/ It has been observed by the author that VLC will not open the stream. This is not a Motion limitation but instead is related to the general VLC support for MJPG http streams. While the above examples indicate the Motion streams can be accessed as http://localhost:mystreamportnumber/ Motion does provide other options for accessing the streams and images. In addition to sub-streams, motion image streams and static images, Motion can also be configured to use just a single port for accessing streams to all cameras. This is accomplished by specifying a stream port within the motion.conf file and also using separate camera files. The following examples should clarify the methods by which streams can be accessed:

What does motion do when invoked?

If Motion was invoked with command line option -c pathname Motion will expect the config file to be as specified.

What is a motion type picture?

Motion can output different types of pictures. The normal picture is indicated below. The motion type picture or also referred to as a debug picture is shown below. Note that the largest area is blue and only this is counted as Motion. The Motion image shows how Motion maintains a "reference frame" which is not just the last picture frame but a mathematical calculation of the past images. This enlarges real Motion and ensures that it is not easy to sneak in slowly.

Can anyone access the remote control port?

Anyone with access to the remote control port (http) can execute any command on your computer with the same privileges as the user running Motion. Anyone can access your control port if you have not either limited access to localhost or limited access using firewalls in the server. You should always have a router between a machine running Motion with remote control enabled and the Internet and make sure the Motion control port is not accessible from the outside.

Can motion connect to a network camera?

Motion can connect to certain network cameras. Please refer to the Basic Setup section of this guide for an additional discussion of network camera and how to test and specify them correctly for Motion. Motion cannot connect to a video stream such a mpeg, mpeg4, divx to connect to streams such as these the user may review the static files portion of the Basic Setup section of this guide which illustrates some possible work arounds using ffmpeg and v4l2loopback devices. The URL must return one single jpeg image, a mjpeg stream a RTSP stream, RTMP stream, file or ftp. When getting a still image, make sure to validate that the camera is serving up a actual raw JPG file and not a HTML page with an embedded JPG which Motion will not be able to process. When the netcam_url is defined the video4linux options above are mostly ignored. If the connection to a network camera is lost, Motion will reuse the last good image for approx 30 seconds. After 30 seconds the image is replaced by a grey image with a text telling that the signal is lost and when the connection was lost. This text and its date format is not configurable.
